edit after v1.7: Etch builder still not supported, this plugin that I bought for circa $500 is unusable for me. If they don’t make it Etch compatible soon, I will have to go with Fluent Community.
The developer seems to be trying to sell too many new products at the cost of existing ones.

If you need to decide between this plugin and fluent community, here are a few takeaways:
SD is more flexible and open (follows wp architecture) but depends on paid suremembers plugin for fine access management, is less focused (it is not a community first plugin, the team relying on facebook for its communities, and its primary purpose is less clear), the fb group is not very active and many posts are declined publication.
FC is more mature, feature rich, enhanced by the fluent ecosystem (namely free version of fluent crm for fine access rules), more ambitious as a community platform (upcoming dedicated app), has a more friendly and active community (hosted by the plugin itself) but integrates less easily with the rest of your site
If you are in a hurry and need a community first plugin, go the fluent way. If you need optimized integration with the rest of your site or the other sureplugins and have some patience, SD is a good choice, given the track record of the team behind it.
In the end I bought both at launch price and would have bought Suremembers if my request for a special discount for SD clients had not been ignored. In the meantime, I compromise with a free 3rd party plugin for finer access management. Let’s see how fast SD can become a fun and efficient plugin to use…

In 2025, the plugin had a somewhat bumpy start, but since then it has managed to catch up. I had a specific request, which was developed within a reasonable time frame, so sometimes they do listen to user needs. What I like most is that it is fully compatible with all WordPress pages, posts, and plugins. The course feature is very clean, and SureMembers integration is getting better and better. Unfortunately, however, there are still many fundamental shortcomings. There are a lot of bugs, and minor features aren’t working. To be honest, this still feels more like a beta product than something ready for production, compared to other similar product.My biggest concern is that there’s no roadmap, and the Facebook group doesn’t often answer questions about specific features or future developments. This erodes trust; people are reluctant to build a business around it because they don’t know what to expect.It would be great, but it would require more care.

After a few weeks of using SureDash, my honest impression is that it still feels like a beta product rather than a polished, production-ready plugin.
There are too many basic engineering problems: poor accessibility, messy markup, strange frontend decisions, leftover classes from other products, hardcoded JavaScript strings that create translation issues, and even missing support for WebP files, which are now a standard image format. As a developer building client sites, that is a major red flag.
I could go on and on. The things mentioned above are just a few og the problems. There are so many “dumb” bugs. It feels like it’s vibe coded to he honest.
The biggest problem is trust. I need to know that the tools I use are stable and well-built. With SureDash, I keep finding bugs and questionable implementation details, and fixes seem slow to arrive. That makes it hard to rely on for real-world client work.
The idea behind the product is good, but the execution is not there yet. Right now, I cannot recommend SureDash to professionals who care about code quality, maintainability, accessibility, and reliability.

Full disclosure: I have not gone live yet with SureDash, but I’ve set it up with content on Local, and the process was very easy. The interfaces are simple and clean for a DIYer.
During the process, I spotted a minor issue—not a bug, but not a feature enhancement, either. I contacted Support, and I received an answer with a solution within 24 hours (if you are in the U.S., expect a next-day response).
This is not the first time Support has helped me with one of their products. In all cases, they are kind, helpful, and clear in their communication.
Is SureDash perfect? This is still a young product, and I’m committed to it and the team behind it. Their focus seems to be on simplicity in the early going, and that has made my learning curve easy to navigate.

I have built out one community so far and to be honest, Im really impressed with the features the team have put together in a relatively short space of time. Looking forward to the planned gamification and leaderboard too!

Suredash has allowed me to create a beautiful looking video subscription community, and it is improving with every new release – and offers great value for the price. I always appreciate the level of support from the Sure team and also the fact they listen to what users say. Keep up the great work guys – Suredash is going to be a powerhouse
